Three top Rwandan military generals and a Colonel were yesterday suspended from the national army and placed under house arrest for alleged indiscipline.
Highly placed security sources told this newspaper that the quartet was earlier in the day summoned and questioned for hours by the Chief of Defence Staff, Lt. Gen. Charles Kayonga.
A military radio message was afterward reportedly sent out on orders of Gen. Paul Kagame to inform all Rwanda Defence Forces (RDF) commanders and troops about the officers alleged questionable businesses dealings with the Congolese neighbours.
As President, Gen. Kagame doubles as the Commander-in-Chief of the countrys armed forces. The officers who have been confined are Lt. Gen. Fred Ibingira, the chief of staff of the Reserve Forces; Brig. Gen. Richard Rutatina, the military intelligence chief; Brig. Gen. Wilson Gumisiriza, commander of the RDFs 3rd Division and Col. Dan Munyuza, head of external Intelligence.
Rwandan military Spokesman, Col. Joseph Nzabamwita, last night said investigations are underway to establish the veracity of the allegations against the four accused.
